Google has finally built its own car from scratch. A car that has no steering wheel or accelerator or even brake pedals. In fact, Google has been building self-driving cars for years, but what we have seen so far has always been retrofits of existing cars until now. The search giant unveiled on Tuesday a fully autonomous self-driving car, built from the ground up by Google and its partners.

Google's Co-Founder Sergey Brin said at the inaugural Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, thatthe project is about changing the world for people who are not well-served by transportation today.According to Google, it has not only to make the car look approachable to those worried about the security concerns that come from lack of a steering wheel, but has also to ensure that the vehicle remains with virtually no blind spots. Safety is for obvious reasons a big concern for Google or for that matter any car manufacturer. Sergey Brin explained that while the car does not have a steering wheel, accelerator or brakes, it does have more sensors in strategic spots than is possible in a regular vehicle. It is also equipped with a big "stop" button. In addition to all this tech, Google's autonomous car includes internal power steering and power brakes.

The car has sensors that remove blind spots that enables it to detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions. This feature is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections. The car has two seats with seat-belts, a space for passengers' belongings, buttons to start and stop, and a screen that shows the route. The company claims that it is looking forward to learn more about what passengers want in a vehicle where their primary job is to kick back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
